场景五:团队合作。
Linda: Sounds good. Everyone is talking about teams these days. Can you describe your role as a member of a sales team?
Linda: 很好,人们现在热衷于谈论“团队”。你能描述一下你在销售团队里的角色吗?
Steve: I see myself chiefly as an inspirer. Sales can be quite competitive and some people in this field adopt a dog-eat-dog mentality.However, as a leader, I charge myself with making all units within a company function as one single entity. To cite an example, in my last job, each representative handled a different region. Instead of allowing successful initiatives to be hoarded by certain representatives, I developed a system for sharing those successful sales initiatives. Soon the entire sales team started talking of their successes, not just to brag, but also to share.
Steve: 我把自己当作一个鼓励者。销售这个领域的竞争很激烈,有些同事暗地里希望别人失败。但是作为一个领导者,我要求自己把公司里的各部分职能都整合起来成为一个整体。举个例子,在我最近的这份工作中,每个销售代表管理一个不同的区域。为了防止成功的销售保密自己的经验,我建立了一套共享制度,让所有业务员分享行之有效的销售策略。很快整个销售团队开始交流成功经验,大家交流不是为了吹牛,而是为了分享。
